Indian Sikh Destination Wedding in Lake Como

Rehearsal Day & Wedding Day

on location

1. Rehearsal – a Day before the Wedding

A day before your Sikh Indian Wedding Italy, we have a mandatory rehearsal meeting with the couple, their parents, significant members of the family and resort planner to go through the timeline of the wedding day sequence.

Details of the Baraat, Milnee and bridal processional, along with start and finish times are confirmed. Resorts can sometimes be massive, up to a mile long, and coordinating early morning logistics is extremely important.

CEREMONY LOCATION

2. Oversee Ceremony Setup

Early in the morning before sunrise, on the wedding day, we arrive at the ceremony area to make sure the decor company arranges the area according to the agreed specs. We oversee the respectful transformation of the space into a Gurudwara-type ambiance. Once the decor setup is complete, we arrange the Altar and Kirtan stages with respective religious materials.

Following this, we make sure the sound system is set precisely so we have pristine, clear, unobstructed sound during your Como Lake Sikh Indian Wedding ceremony.

3. Baraat & Milnee

Many families choose to have traditional cultural wedding ceremonies before the wedding. This can include the groom’s sisters putting on the Kalgi and Sehra.

Even at a Indian Sikh Destination Wedding in Lake Como, many times the groom often arrives on a horse for the Milnee Ceremony, with his family, relatives, and friends dancing alongside the symbolic dhol player.

Prior to the Milnee we assist and delegate the tying of head coverings. This is followed by a brief introduction, overview and protocol of what to expect during the Anand Karaj Ceremony.

Milnee Ardas is recited which is followed by the typical exchanges of garlands and hugs.

Interfaith & Multi-Racial Couples

As a ‘mixed – fusion’ couple we are well aware of the social and cultural difficulties that are sometimes imposed by relatives who do not approve of your choice and love for your partner. We specialize in conducting ceremonies for Interfaith Couples, bringing the message of intolerance, equality, and oneness. We welcome all cultures and all human traditions to celebrate their Sikh ceremony in Tuscany Italy.
